Dearest Oscar, you are utterly adorable indeed! What a gorgeous Dachshund you are, with that silky soft-looking brown fur and that sweet face with those long Dachshund ears and shiny black nose and lovely big brown eyes. And how absolutely wonderful and perfect you are in your hat there, all set for the Fourth tomorrow! You have the most delightful personality, too, and you make your dear people smile with your antics and energy, playing with your red ball, going wherever they go. You and they and your dear housemate Junior all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Oscar, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and Junior and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats! And happy Fourth of July to you all!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
